Earl,

Get a bigger hard drive.  You don't have much space and even so, you
have all the log-files and things to contend with.  You will probably
get messages soon about not being able to write to log files and etc.

First,
~   Try cleaning up the up2date directory for the packages.
~   /var/spool/up2date
~   and delete all the files there.

Second,
~   Try the packages a little bit at a time...  don't just do an up2date
- -u without specifying which to update.  The biggest updates will be X
and the kernel packages.

Third,
~   Get some money and purchase a larger hard drive.  20G or more are
very inexpensive these days.

Good Luck,
James Kosin
